Von vs KW vs Bilsteins

What's the best coilover suspension for a 964 that will be used as a weekend "canyon carver". It will see very little, if any, track time. Really looking for a comforable but sporty coilover system.

Or am i better off with just some shocks and springs (non-adjustable)??

look into the KW V3 line.
they are double adjustable and may be set a tad bit "softer" than the P10s when you want comfort.

Can't find much on Von Coils but my builder is recommending them. Any opinions on those?

Also, with revalved bilstein shocks, what springs do i use?

there are different ways to go, you can use stock, or any of several other stiffer setups, some require new perches and mounts so research fully.

use digressive valves matched to the springs and car weight

PSS10 come w/ digressive's springs and any other hardware needed

Another nod for the KW V3 - just an excellent bit of kit and their customer support in the US is excellent.
